CALORIE COUNT: 243 Calories Per Serving; SERVING SIZE: 64grams.

What you need:

Cream Pie Ingredients

1 Can of chickpeas

1/4 Cup almond butter

1/2 Cup oats

2 Tbsp. honey

2 Tbsp. vanilla whey protein

Frosting Ingredients

1/4 Cup almond butter

2 Tbsp. vanilla whey protein

2 Tbsp. non-fat Greek yogurt

Directions: (Approximate cook time: 20 minutes; Servings: 8-10)

Preheat your oven to 350° F.

Next, mix all of the Cream Pie ingredients together in a blender or food processor.

Take the Cream Pie mixture, and fill a large, lightly greased muffin tin, using enough mix to fill each individual muffin tin 1/4-1/2 of the way full. (Quick Tip: It’s easier to make the “pies” with a muffin tin, but you can also use a cookie sheet.)

Bake in the oven for 13 minutes; while the Cream Pies are baking, mix together your Frosting ingredients by hand in a small bowl.

When Cream Pies are done, remove them from your muffin tin or cookie sheet; next, add “cream” to one side of Cream Pie, and make sandwich with the other; Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a later date.

Eat & enjoy!

Coconut or Olive Oil (For Coating Skillet/Griddle)

Directions: (Approximate cook time: 10 minutes; Serves 2 adults.)

Next, mix all of the wet ingredients in a medium-sized bowl together; Do the same with the dry ingredients in another medium-sized bowl.

Then, mix both wet & dry ingredients together evenly; Make sure it isn’t lumpy. (Amber’s Tip:“I threw everything into my blender, and once the batter was evenly mixed, I used it to pour each pancake. Also, the batter for this recipe will be on the thin side, so make sure griddle or skillet is hot & sprayed with oil when the batter is added!”)

Pour batter onto preheated skillet or griddle, until you see bubbles on the top (3-4 minutes); Then, flip the pancake to other side, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Remove from skillet/griddle, and serve hot. (Feel free to top with fresh fruit & nuts!)

Every recipe has a story!
